How much cheese per person on a ploughmans lunch?

There's no strict rule for how much cheese to serve per person on a Ploughman's Lunch! It depends on a few factors:

* The size of the other components: A Ploughman's Lunch usually includes bread, pickles, chutney, and often salad. If there's a lot of other food, you can use less cheese.

* The type of cheese: Hard cheeses like Cheddar are more filling than soft cheeses like Brie.

* The appetites of your guests: Are they big eaters or light eaters?

* The occasion: A casual lunch might require less cheese than a more formal event.

Here are some general guidelines:

* For a casual lunch: Aim for 50-75 grams (1.75-2.6 ounces) of cheese per person.

* For a more formal event: Increase the portion to 75-100 grams (2.6-3.5 ounces) per person.

Remember: It's always better to have a bit extra than not enough. If you're unsure, it's better to err on the side of caution and provide a bit more cheese!
